The Heritage Tweed Vest is a versatile, unisex pattern designed for bulky yarn, making it a super-cozy layering piece perfect for cooler weather. This vest can be dressed up with a collared shirt for the office or paired with a casual shirt for a relaxed look, ideal for enjoying a mug of hot chocolate.

The vest is knit in the round from the bottom up, then split for the armholes and knit flat. The shoulders are shaped with short rows and finished with a three-needle bind off. The collar and armholes are edged with one-by-one ribbing, picked up and knit around the openings, adding a polished finish to this classic piece.

This cozy vest comes in seven adult sizes, ranging from a 32 to 62.5 inch (81.5 to 159 cm) bust/chest, and uses between 4 to 7 skeins of *Knit Picks City Tweed HW (shown in the colourway "Harbor Seal". The sample shown used a 6 mm (US 10) *circular knitting needle, and is shown in size S, which is a 37 inch (100 cm) bust/chest measurement.   The vest pattern has no waist shaping.
